In BL.INK enterprise it is helpful to check all account settings to make sure they are correct.
Account settings such as name, email address and time zone should be correct in your BL.INK account so that link creation and time show up correctly not only for the immediate user but the whole team.
Checking your Account Information
To check all account information, log on to BL.INK.
From the default links page, navigate to the My Account section by clicking your name in the right hand corner of the page.
From here a drop down menu will appear. Click My Account.
Within this page a user can see general account information. Users should always make sure that their name, email address, and time zone are updated with correct information.
Users also have the option of adding their phone number and business department to their accounts.
On the left side of the page, you can find the API refresh token and API resources for those users who wish to use the version 5 API.
Why is it important for me to check the account information?
It is important to make sure that required account information such as name and time zone are correct because these details will be included while you create links.
For example, If a user creates a new link it will say that they are the link owner and include their name and email address along with a time stamp.
Another important example is when you set an archive or publish date for a link. Updating time zone to reflect your specific time zone for this will ensure that the link is either created or retired as you wish.
What are some examples of time zone affecting a link?

Adding PowerPage content
When adding content to a PowerPage a Publish Date is automatically assigned to the content blocks. The blocks will be published based on the creating user's time zone and settings.
NOTE:
Users must have the correct permissions to access PowerPages. These will be given by your account admin.
In the Manage Content tab, admins and content managers may begin to create image blocks for the PowerPage.
Publish date will automatically be assigned to the blocks based on the creating user's time zone if the publish date is not filled out.
Users also have the option of setting publish date or retire date manually. This allows users to set a block to pubish in the future, retire the block, or back date publish date in order to re-arrange the order of the content blocks.
To save or edit image blocks, click Save. To learn more about PowerPages click here.
